Took this technique I learned in prison to make it bearable during the heatwave:
- Wet the window with a sponge or rag.
- Put aluminium foil up against it. Shiny side out. Cut beforehand on angled windows like that or use the roll on vertical surfaces.
- To cover the overlap, just wet the foil already on there, but be careful not to pull it off at the edge. An overlapping strip will stick to the other ones.
- Use masking tape to cover any overlapping edges that come away, as well as the edges that have a hard time connecting to the windowsill.
This keeps out an incredible amount of heat; you can feel how hot the foil itself gets during the day, while keeping the inside nice and cool.


Bro I gotta ask… You don’t live in Sweden by any chance?
If they lived in Sweden they’d have AC in prison.
I do not. Wish I did; I like Sweden.
It’s not that great for what it’s worth.
Why do you say it’s not that great?
Like, I get why people say statesia is a bit terrifying, but I love my town. Been working on making it a better place (successfully, we have the best park in the California according to this one park dude I know) (okay it’s me I’m the this one park dude I know but I am really proud of our parks)
Agreed, but you do have cheap bacon and beer. Which makes up for a lot.
